Strategic positioning centers on defending gas market structures, opposing expansive domestic gas reservation frameworks, and advocating for new exploration acreage and regulatory certainty across states.

ThepointForeign gas lobby group welcomes Coalition’s plan to give them even more of Australia’s gas for freeAustralian Energy Producers welcomed the Coalition's plan to expand gas exports by cutting environmental protections and adding subsidies. The article argues the plan will raise energy bills, citing tripled gas prices since 2015, and claims 60% of Australians think exports are too high.The Sydney Morning HeraldLabor’s plan to reserve more domestic gas stirs hopes of a revivalAustralia's Labor government is implementing a policy to reserve up to 20% of eastern Australian LNG exports for domestic use, aiming to lower gas prices and revive local manufacturing. Coogee Chemicals has announced plans to restart its mothballed methanol plant in Laverton if the scheme successfully reduces long-term gas costs below $10 per gigajoule. The initiative faces opposition from energy producers who argue it will discourage investment in new gas fields while offering only marginal financial benefits to manufacturers.Mirage NewsPoll Proves It: Victorians Want Family First's Energy PolicyFamily First's Jane Foreman cited a new JWS Research poll commissioned by Australian Energy Producers showing 83% of 1,000 Victorians want natural gas to remain part of the state's energy mix, with 58% opposing the Allan Government's ban on gas connections in new homes and 54% more likely to vote for candidates backing consumer choice. Foreman is using these results to renew calls for scrapping the gas phase-out, keeping Latrobe Valley coal stations open, and allowing Victorians to choose their energy sources ahead of November elections.Australian Financial Review‘Uninvestable’: New tax will cost Australia $70b, gas lobby warnsA report commissioned by Australian Energy Producers warns that a proposed 25% windfall tax on oil and gas exporters would render new projects uninvestable, potentially costing the government $70 billion in revenue. The analysis by Wood Mackenzie highlights increased risks of local energy shortfalls due to reduced international capital attraction. This warning comes amidst growing political pressure to extract more funds from the sector.The GuardianGas giants warn against windfall gains tax as Pocock says ‘wartime profits’ should go to struggling AustraliansThe Australian government is considering implementing a 25% windfall profits tax on gas exports, with Treasury modeling the effects following pressure from crossbench MPs like David Pocock and advocacy groups who argue that wartime profits from elevated global gas prices should be redirected to Australians struggling amid the energy crisis. Industry bodies including Australian Energy Producers and the Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA have warned that such a tax would discourage investment in new gas supply, raise energy prices, and damage Australia's reputation as a stable investment destination. The debate has intensified following recent attacks on Iranian and Qatari gas facilities that damaged 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity, constraining global supply and increasing expected profits for Australian exporters.EnergymagazineIndustry reacts to east coast gas reservation policyThe Australian Federal Government announced a new policy requiring gas exporters to reserve 15–25 per cent of production for the east coast market, following a Gas Market Review that found the policy would help ease pricing pressures for businesses and consumers. The policy will be designed through a consultation process commencing in 2026, with implementation targeted for 2027. Manufacturing bodies and unions have welcomed the policy in concept but are demanding more detail, warning it must materially reduce local gas prices to be effective, while Australian Energy Producers says new supply is the only sustainable solution to price pressures.SpglobalAustralia releases new areas for offshore gas exploration to boost energy securityAustralia's Albanese Government has opened five new areas in the Otway Basin for offshore gas exploration bidding to address forecast domestic gas shortfalls from 2029 and help lower power prices for manufacturers and households. The new release areas, located in Commonwealth waters with environmental buffer zones protecting marine parks, are part of a joint authority arrangement with the Victorian State Government and support the country's Future Gas Strategy and net zero transition commitments. Industry body Australian Energy Producers welcomed the move, stating that bringing new gas supply online is the only sustainable solution to put downward pressure on prices.
